Cast iron rad tails affixing

[rpm]

loctite one is spot on

hemp looks to be a bit too much paste but doesnt matter

to clean them up carefully go round the thread as close to the rad as possible and cut the excess off with a hacksaw blade

Are you serious Shaun, would you be happy to put your name on the ptfe joint?

Look I appreciate that you are diy however both are a mess and I'm not convinced that the products used were applied in the correct rotation.

Well I do know my clockwise from my anticlockwise. A mess? If I exhibited them at the Tate Modern would be worth a fortune.

I was going to trim them off with a stanley knife when they have been in use a while.

Cheers but don`t need a leason, done 1/8 bsp to 10 or 12" pipe joints over the years, only on the bigger stuff in places like Battersea power station would they be acceptable.
PS I did say the ptfe joint.

you should know then, they need cleaning afterwards and then they look sweet as pie

You still saying the ptfe one is "Sweet as pie", how can somebody make a mess like that with a roll of tape is beyond me. And yes a little brass wire brush will make it sweet.

Because it's loctite 55 not tape

my error and true, still a ruddy mess, should only be one tail.

Opened a bag of worms hereMight not be the neatest looking, at present but after trimming will be fine. Both types are holding at 5bar on test, did out of interest, as my system runs at 1 bar max I am happy they will be fine.
